Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin GTS 21

I am 68 years young and just started running again. I've worn Brooks for several years, particularly the Glycerin, after suffering from plantar fasciitis. My favorite thing about these shoes is the fact I can wear them right out of the box. No break-in period necessary. I keep my older pair of Brooks to wear while working in the yard. My ankles, knees and hips thank you!

This is a great shoe, but it runs small. If you are on the border of sizes, size up. I had to return them, but I will re-order in a bigger size.

These shoes are amazing. As someone with frequent heel pain and the occasional plantar fasciitis flare up, I needed a supportive shoe with enough cushion while I walked over 25,000 steps a day on vacation. I never had any issues or any foot pain and wore them everyday for 9 days. They are supportive and have a good amount of cushion and arch support. I tend to walk on the outside of my foot, but the design of these shoes prevented that. I plan on purchasing a second pair and would recommend these to anyone.

Very cushioned and good support. Slightly rubbed inside of both heels on first long run in them.

I purchased the GTS 21 on recommendation from a friend who is on her feet a lot for work. I purchased them because I thought the thick cushion would be helpful in minimizing stress while on my feet. Ive had the Brooks shoes shoes for a few months and never recognized how sore my feet felt after a day at work while wearing them, And truth be told I didnt figure it out until this past weekend- The shoes by all account have a thick sole and appear to give needed cushion to those who are on their feet a lot or who simply walk a lot. But I wore the Brooks GTS 21 shoes on Sunday and was on my feet off an on the entire day as we had company over and we were building a gazebo. By evening my feet were in so much pain that I couldnt wait to take them off . Today I wore my ASICS shoes to work instead and had them on the entire day into the late evening. I came home and did not have any foot pain. Kind of a shocking revelation as I think back over the past month wearing my Brooks shoes- Ive had knee pain and sore feet multiple times and never put the occurrences together. Sadly these shoes are not for me. :-(

These shoes had a wonderful, squishy softness that felt so good underfoot, but just didn't have enough support for my over pronating, old, worn out feet. Unfortunately, I had to return this item, but eventually found the right Brooks shoe for me. If your foot holds a neutral position and you're seeking a soft, plush feel underfoot, I highly recommend this model.

Now that Im wearing the correct size for my feet problems the Glycerin 21 GTS is working well for me. I will be happiest when Ive broken these in - they feel a little stiff and more firm than my last Glycerin 20 GTS. The style features never fail! Suggestion: please make more color choices in the WIDE sizes of Glycerin GTS. Thanks Brooks!

Super comfty just a couple of weeks with them and oh my what a difference I am on my feet 10+ hours a day as an xray tech and this has been life changing !

I have had two pairs before these just older versions. I LOVE these shoes!! They never make my feet hurt. I never have back or knee problems wearing these. I highly recommend if youre on your feet all day!

Love them so comfy, enjoying them for walking and running.

They are alright. I probably should have ordered the next size up. They feel a little tight.

They are not the same fit as previous ones too tight

I am so excited!!! I was not expecting to love them so much. They are so comfortable. They may actually feel better than my Ghosts!

Brooks running shoes are a good fit for me

I chose this shoe because it not only has the support that I originally found in the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23, but it has the extra cushion to make my shoes comfy and more enjoyable while running.

I will be buying another pair. They are the best. I am not a runner. 66 years old walker getting ready for knee replacement and they are perfect.

Very comfortable, I love the cushion and how it lands when I workout. I struggle with shin splints so I wanted a shoe with extra support. I am very happy with this product.

The toe box from Glycerin 20 to 21 has shrunk. Not working for me. I have high arches. 20 was amazing. 21 is disappointing.

I Love this shoe very comfortable and light except the mesh on the toe press down on my big if that wouldn't happen this would be perfect.

Absolutely love these shoes. I started having pain in my feet and these shoes have resolved it. Very comfortable and my feet feel supported

The most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn!!!!!!! I will buy another pair without any hesitation when and if these wear out !!

I actually love these sneaks And I could not get the GTS 20s so I had to get the 21 and My last two pair of wides fit great! this pair for some reason or another is very tight At the top middle. The tongue, shoelace area Does not allow for too much room so if you have a high top part of the foot, it will be very tight. It actually leaves indents on my feet when I take them off. I did allow for breaking time and it's still tight. For my heel burning issue when I walk, it completely resolves it. So just a little tight, but it does the job on my feet.

I made the mistake of buying two pairs of this model. The first one messed up within the 90 days. The second pair did the same thing 6 months in. The toe of left shoe has something in the tip that collapsed and pokes you in toes. Feels like plastic. The first pair was so bad I couldnt wear them. The other pair is still wearable but will get worse with time. Model 20 was so much better.

I have severe chronic back pain and issues and this shoe is the first I can wear without orthotic inserts. These are supportive and cushioned at the same time. I love them! Only 4 stars is due to the limited range of colors in my size and width- I wear women's 10 wide. Please offer more colors in Women's wide in this style!

Very comfortable, lots of cushioning. Great for stability. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the top inner toe area buckles a bit. Not sure why this is happening, I thought maybe the shoe tongue was pulled too tight, but after readjusting, that's not the problem.
